Leigh Martin May presided over a controversial case involving the Security & Exchange Commission in 2015 regarding Administrative Law:

"A federal judge's ruling against the Securities and Exchange Commission for using its own judges in an insider-trading case might be looked at in hindsight as the beginning of the end of an alternative system of justice that took root in the New Deal but has raised serious constitutional questions ever since.

 

In a 45-page ruling yesterday, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May in Atlanta issued an injunction halting administrative law proceedings against Charles Hill, a businessman the SEC has accused of reaping an illegal $744,000 profit trading in Radian Systems stock. The judge ruled that the agency violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution by subjecting Hill to proceedings before an administrative law judge who isn't directly accountable to the President, officials in charge of the SEC or the courts.

 

While it's just a single ruling by a single judge on a seemingly arcane point of administrative law, the decision echoes the deep concerns some judges and academics have about extrajudicial proceedings, said Philip Hamburger, a professor a Columbia Law School and author of “Is Administrative Law Unlawful?,” a book that compares the modern administrative state to the Star Chamber operated by King James I."

 

Interesting to this Georgianon is that she got her undergrad degree at Georgia Tech, then went to UGA Law. The two schools are so vastly differently that they attract vastly different types of students, and crossover, historically, has been relatively rare.
